Discover our step-by-step guide on seamlessly integrating Bubble.io with Etsy API to enhance your e-commerce operations & boost productivity.

What is Etsy API?

Etsy API refers to a set of protocols and tools created by Etsy, a popular marketplace for handmade and vintage goods, that allows developers to create applications that interact with the Etsy platform. This API gives developers access to Etsy's suite of features and data including listings, shops, and payment methods. It facilitates seamless integration between Etsy and other third-party services such as inventory management applications, shipping and fulfillment solutions, and other e-commerce tools.

How to integrate Bubble.io with Etsy API?

Integrating the Bubble.io Application with the Etsy API takes several steps. It begins with setting up an Etsy developer account, retrieving your API Key, and then configuring the API connection on your Bubble.io application.

Step 1: Create an Etsy Developer Account

  • Go to the Etsy Developer Site and sign in using your Etsy credentials.
  • Click on the 'Create a New App' button.
  • Fill in the 'Application Name', 'Describe your Application' fields to provide more information about your app.
  • For the 'Application Website' field, please input your Bubble application's URL.
  • Agree to the Etsy API Terms of Use and click 'Create App'.

Step 2: Retrieve your Etsy API Key

  • After creating your developer account, you will be redirected to a page where you will see your 'API Key', 'Shared Secret' and 'App Name'.
  • Save these details. They will be used in the Bubble.io platform to establish a connection.

Step 3: Setting up Bubble.io API Connector

  • In your Bubble app, go to the 'Plugins' section on the left-hand menu and click on 'Add Plugins'.
  • Search for the Bubble 'API Connector' plugin and install it.

Step 4: Configure API Connector for Etsy API

  • Go to the 'Settings' part of the 'API Connector' plugin.
  • Click on 'Add another API'.
  • Name your API (such as 'Etsy API'). This will be used to identify this API in data sources.
  • Inside HTTP headers, enter Authorization as the key and Bearer <YOUR ETSY API KEY> as value.

Step 5: Create a GET Request

  • Click on 'Add another call'.
  • Name your call (such as 'Get Listings').
  • Choose the API you created in step 4 from the dropdown menu.
  • For the call type, select 'GET'.
  • In the URL field, enter the necessary endpoint of the Etsy API (such as https://openapi.etsy.com/v2/listings/active if you want to retrieve all active listings).
  • Save your changes.

Step 6: Initialize Call and Test

  • After saving, click on 'Initialize Call' to test the API connection.
  • If the API call is successful, you will see the data structure of the API response.
  • If the call fails, verify that your API key and call details are correct.

Step 7: Use API Data in your Bubble.io Application

  • After successfully configuring the API Connector, you can use API data in your Bubble.io application.
  • For example, in a 'Repeating Group' element in your layout, you can choose 'Get data from an external API' as your data source, select your API and call (e.g., 'Etsy API - Get Listings'), and display the returned data in the text elements inside the Repeating Group.

Through these steps, you should be able to integrate Bubble.io with Etsy API. You can navigate through various API endpoints provided by Etsy to further utilize your API integration.
